We believe that our exclusive vessels and small group size allow for the absolute best snorkeling and whale watching experience out there. We specialize in snorkeling around the neighbor islands of Maui and Lana’i as well as whale watching from Maalaea harbor. We offer a variety of vessels for you private charter needs. If the weather cooperates (which it usually does, it’s Maui afterall)a full day tour can circumnavigate the entire island of Lana’i! The far side of the island is home to a giant shipwreck which makes for a pretty wonderful photo opprotunity. Lana’i is wonderful for snorkeling because of it’s sheer variety and virtually undisturbed habitat. Plus, the island is home to three different species of dolphin. We are often greeted by a pod of dolphins, they love to leap in play in the wake of our vessels. This time of year our snorkeling tours become part whale watching tour. We travel right through the shallow channel between Maui and Lana’i, which is home to the highest concentration of humpbacks. Our flagship “Island Star” is a 58′ Columbia sailing yacht with luxurious lounge areas as well as a full galley for your fine dining needs. She is also quick under sail and we encourage everyone to take a turn at the helm. Our scarab speedboat is a stylish as adventurous option for a smaller group. We also offer high speed eco rafts, they can take 16 passengers and are super fun.
